Sculpting Workshop.

Hands-on sculpting workshops with Dustin Weatherby in the on-site SculptDecor studio.

About the Class

Real material, real tools, a master's guidance.

Sculpting workshops at Raven's Retreat are hands-on. Dustin Weatherby leads every session personally out of his SculptDecor studio, the Art Lodge, or the Bungalow. Guests work with real clay or wax under real guidance, and everyone leaves with a piece they made themselves. No prior experience is expected or assumed.

How the Workshop Runs

Two and a half to three hours. One guided piece. You keep it.

The workshop runs 2.5 to 3 hours in the SculptDecor studio, the Art Lodge, or the Bungalow. Dustin starts with a brief material demo, sets up each guest with clay or wax, and then works the room, giving hand-on-hand corrections and short one-on-one guidance for the length of the session.

The piece you make during the session is yours to keep. Firing / finishing is arranged separately for pieces that need it.
